Pasqual Joseph D'Amico

Pasqual “Pat” D’Amico, 80, of Bonita Springs, Florida, formerly of Glenside, Pennsylvania, passed away peacefully on September 14, 2026, just 46 days after the passing of his beloved wife of 55 years, Kathleen “Kathy” D’Amico.

Born and raised in Philadelphia, Pat was always proud of his Philadelphia roots. He later made his home in Glenside, Pennsylvania, where he and Kathy raised their family and built a lifetime of memories together. Eventually, Pat fulfilled one of his longtime dreams when he and Kathy moved to Bonita Springs, Florida. For Pat, moving to Florida wasn’t simply a change of address—it was something he had dreamed about for years, and he was grateful to share that chapter of his life with Kathy.

Pat proudly served his country as a member of the United States Air Force Reserve, reflecting the sense of responsibility, loyalty, and service that he carried throughout his life.

Pat and Kathy built a life centered around their family and their daughters, Lucy and Lauren. Through more than five decades together, they experienced life’s happiest moments as well as its most difficult ones, always connected by the family they created and the life they shared.

Family was at the center of Pat’s world. He was happiest when everyone was together, and perhaps more than anything, Pat simply loved being included. Whether it was a holiday, a family dinner, a sporting event, a trip to the beach, or an ordinary afternoon together, if his family was there, Pat wanted to be there too.

A lifelong Philadelphia sports fan, Pat loved following his hometown teams. Through winning seasons and losing ones, he remained loyal and was always ready to watch a game, talk sports, and offer his thoughts on what the Phillies, Eagles, Flyers, or Sixers should be doing differently.

Pat was the person you called when something needed to be fixed. He had a natural ability to figure things out, and more importantly, he was always willing to lend a hand. Helping people wasn’t something Pat needed recognition for—it was simply part of who he was. If someone needed him, he showed up.

That was especially true at Christmas, when Pat took on one of his unofficial but very important responsibilities: putting together the kids’ and grandchildren's toys. While everyone else enjoyed the holiday, Pat could often be found surrounded by boxes, screws, tools, instructions, and pieces that somehow needed to become a bicycle, playset, dollhouse, or whatever Santa had delivered that year. He might question the instructions—or decide he didn’t need them—but somehow, Pat always got it done. Those Christmas mornings became part of the fabric of family life and are memories that will now be treasured even more.

Nothing brought Pat greater pride and joy than his four grandchildren, Billy, Emma, Alex, and Finnley. He loved watching them grow, hearing about what was happening in their lives, helping them whenever he could, and simply being their grandfather. From Christmas mornings and days at the Jersey shore to family gatherings and everyday moments, Poppop was there.

Pat was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Kathleen, and their cherished eldest daughter, Lucy D’Amico Robertson, both of whom he held deeply in his heart.

He is lovingly remembered by his daughter, Lauren D’Amico LeVeque, and her husband, Matthew; his son-in-law, William Huston Robertson, and his wife, Jennifer; his four adored grandchildren, Billy Robertson, Emma Robertson, Alex Robertson, and Finnley LeVeque; and his sister-in-law Maureen Gesing, and her husband, Charles. He also leaves behind a wide circle of extended family and friends whose lives were brighter because of him.

Pat’s passing comes only 46 days after Kathleen’s, following 55 years of marriage. For a family already grieving the loss of Kathy—and carrying the memory of Lucy—the loss of Pat brings another profound sadness in an extraordinarily short period of time. Yet amid that sadness is the comfort of remembering the life Pat lived and the people he loved.

Pat will be remembered in the countless little things that defined him: fixing what was broken, helping someone who needed a hand, proudly serving his country, rooting for his Philadelphia teams, enjoying the beaches of the Jersey shore, fulfilling his dream of living in Florida, wanting to be part of whatever the family was doing, and making sure those Christmas toys were assembled and ready when morning came.

Most of all, he will be remembered as a husband, father, grandfather, and friend who showed his love by being there.

After 55 years of marriage and only 46 days apart, Pat and Kathy are together again. And for those who loved Lucy, there is comfort in imagining a family reunion that has been far too long in coming. Their absence leaves an enormous space in the family they created, but the love, traditions, laughter, and memories they leave behind will remain for generations.

A Celebration of Pat’s Life will be held at a future date.
